Messrs. Woodward and Rex. both of 80.
came in even, the time being q
minutes so seconds, beating the best
previous record of the association. In
walking off the dead heat Rex won i'll
minutes 81 seconds. In the mile run
ming race A. w. Shaw, of 80, won,
breaking the record by Is seconds. In
the half mile run Cressey lowered the
record. An interesting feature of the
day was the wrestling match between
Sacre, of 81, and Allen, of go.
matched, Sacre, who was few
pounds the lighter, making up
in skill what he lacked in strength. The
match was catch-aS-catch-can, three
points down. For half an hour the men
worked, Allen being on top most OF the
time. but it seemed impossible for him
to completely down his antagonist, and
at the end of that time the bout was de-
clared draw. In the tug of war
the juniors had no difficulty at alle
III pulling the sophomores out Of
their holes; it was an easy walk-away.
When they met the freshmen, however,
they narrowly escaped defeat. This
was the most exciting event of the day
The sympathies of the spectators were
decidedly with the ''freshies," who
worked hard, but the juniors, to use the
explanation of man of 80, ''had Stutfyi
Smith at the end of the rope, and he
could output a locomotive" In the
last heat of the mile bicycle race Aber4
nethy won over Pillsbury by scarcely a.
foot. A great many ladies were presentl
and their enthusiastic applause did
much to call forth the best efforts of the
competing men. The silver cup which
is given as trophy to the class having
the largest number of first prize men,
cheers from that class. Prof.
Jones, the president of the associa-
ton acted as field director and was most
efficient. After the exercises he was
presented with a gold-headed cane, the
compliments of kehoe and Mathews.
The prizes were all donated by leading
merchants of the city, and they will no
doubt be highly appreciated by the viii
ners. Prof. DupleSSis earned the vote
of thanks so heartily given him by his
impartial Judgment as referee. Follow
